Tipping Problem
Given a number between 0 and 10 that represents the quality

of service at a restaurant (where 10 is excellent), and another

number between 0 and 10 that represents the quality of the
food at that restaurant (again, 10 is excellent), what should
the tip be?
Assume that an average tip is 15%, a generous tip is 25%, and a

cheap tip is 5%.

If service is poor and the food is rancid then tip is cheap

If service is good and the food is rancid then tip is cheap
If service is poor and the food is delicious then tip is Average
If service is good and the food is delicious then tip is Average
If service is excellent then tip is generous

We have just defined the rules for a fuzzy logic system.
